My mind was racing and my heart was about to beat out of my chest. My blood felt like ice but my skin was hot.
After that...kiss, I ran off of the booth and disappeared into the carnival. I have to get out of here, I thought to myself, finding anywhere else to go so I could focus and catch my breath.
Did that just happen?
Ok that really just happened.
What the hell am I supposed to do now?
That kiss...it was- dare I say...epic. I knew my heart ached for him to do it again. To feel his strong but tender hand on my face, to feel those ever so soft lips touch mine, just one more time...one more second.
But that's what my heart wanted. My head was shouting different things. Two main things to be exact. As I sat on a cool bench next to the popcorn stand, catching my breath, my mind automatically went to Lee. What would he say? What would he do? How would he find out? When would he find out? Do I tell him?
Wait...it's not a big deal right? Am I just overthinking this? I mean, it was for the Kissing Booth right? To raise money. And I didn't know it was him.
Well... until I took off the blindfold and I stared into Noah's sparking eyes, and we kissed again.
What was wrong with me?
Hell I knew what was wrong with me...
I'm in love with Noah.
That kiss...I remember every second of it, every stroke of his lips. The touch of his hands on my arm and one on my face. His body warmth and his breath that tickled my cheek in the cool air once we pulled apart from each other. I'll admit that every bone in my body wants to go back to him, but I stay put.
Heck who knows if he even liked it...if he liked me for that matter.
I bent my head back and sighed as I closed my eyes and let the night air caress my face. It seemed like it was gonna rain.

That kiss....
It was amazing. I couldn't quite describe the feeling. I just wanted to do it again, badly.
I already knew that I had feelings for Elle but I didn't think it would get this intense to where I'd...crave her. I think that—our kiss made me realize a few things. Well, not realize, more like admit.
But I knew the moment I kissed her, I was done. I know what I felt. It was weird, this feeling. I didn't think I'd be capable of falling in love with someone. Let alone my brothers best friend. I've always cared about Elle, I've always wanted to protect her. Now that this whole mess has happened, all those things that I've felt have been...maximized.
A part of me knows it's wrong. I'm already the brother with the bad reputation and now this.
When I kissed her and she kissed back, I felt this sudden relief and happiness. Then when she ran off, no where to be seen, I felt sad almost and I wanted to run after her. But I didn't of course, we already had an audience.
But that feeling...of being with her, it-somehow- felt right.
I knew what this feeling was but I still didn't quite understand it. And one thing I knew for sure...
I was never gonna let it go. I was never gonna let her go.

I felt like there was only one thing I could do.
I had to tell her.
